We Are Now Able To Edit DNA – But What Are the Implications?

posted Jan 8, 2016, 11:56 AM by Resty Manapat

The animation in the following video depicts the
CRISPR-Cas9 method for genome editing – a powerful new technology with many
applications in biomedical research, including the potential to treat human
genetic disease.

This is yet another indication that “DNA is software” – not
metaphorically behaving “like” software but literally and objectively the same
form of “being.”

What does this mean?

Well, for anything to be
edited it must convey meaning; the concept of editing is simply
revising the expression of something – thus its essence or meaning has been
altered.

And this can only be accomplished within a consistently
intelligently behaving system with predictable patterns.

You cannot “edit” randomness or chaos. By definition
chaos’ changes occur randomly and not predictably.

In the word processing software used to write this
article I can copy and paste words and sentences to reconstitute the look and
thus the meaning of a page of text. And I do so predictably according to
rules–that is editing.

In HTML if the syntax of the code is changed — for
example if “b.jpg” is substituted for “a.jpg” — then a different image will be
displayed in a web browser based on the underlying code.

I have shared this video before but it is monstrously
important:

Juan Enriquez- The life-code that will reshape the future.mp4

In the video, geneticist Juan Enriquez shows the genetic
code on the left in the slide above and identifies it as Ebola.

He also describes how code acts as an “executable” –
performing biological tasks in the same way that HTML performs various
electronic tasks – turning pixels on and off on your monitor to display web
pages.

He also describes how, by taking the genetic code for a
nearly extinct animal and putting it into the egg of a similar species, the
original species is “born” (again).

Again, in computer terms, this is copying and pasting. We do
it every day but never think about it.

Enriquez also describes how an apple is also an
“executable”–an apple is an “application” according to genetics. Enriquez says
that when it gets sufficient “input” in the form of energy from the sun, its
code executes and it falls from a tree.

But now consider this:

We did not write the DNA code. It is as old as organic life
itself – Presumable over 14 billion years old.

Let that sink in for a moment.

With HTML or a word processor we KNOW where the code came
from – it was conceived and written by teams of brilliant programmers according
to the specific intentions of other brilliant THINKERS.

So what is the source of DNA? Who “wrote the code”?

There is no answer to this question – I believe we simply
need to accept not knowing the origin of DNA.

But in terms of modern science, we need to rethink the
implications and not take them for granted.

Geneticists like Enriquez, who change genetic code through
sequencing, seem oblivious to the implications for all of science: that what
they are changing is literally “cosmic intellectual property.”

Let’s go a bit deeper…

We also know that there seem to be ways of “reprogramming”
your own DNA. Neuroscientists like Joe Dispenza (Evolve
Your Brain: The Science of Changing Your Mind) have written
extensively about changing habitual patterns through dramatic action, and
thereby changing the deep “grooves” of your subconscious conditioning to create
new patterns that serve you better.

More recently, Deepak Chopra and Rudy Tanzi have publishedSuper Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA
for Optimum Health and Well-Being,in which they present concrete ideas for
achieving similar results.

Again this focuses on the biological aspects of genetics
for achieving human goals – wellbeing and so on.

But humans have had “access” to software for only a few
generations; our science has been mired in the conditioned beliefs of
materialism for centuries. We now need to make a profound mental shift.

What is apparent in all of these comparisons of DNA and
software is something extremely significant but so obvious that is overlooked
constantly: Meaning (editing) implies Mind – but not just any mental function
but high Intelligence.

So if Life itself is manifesting a property (intelligence)
through its means of expression (DNA), must we not shift our orientation as the
primary source of intelligence in nature from Ourselves (humans) to Life
itself?

If we now know that we can edit the code behind Life, don’t
we necessarily need to redefine or begin to understand Life as the expression
of Consciousness — instead of seeing ourselves as the source of such knowledge
or insight?

This is the Copernican revolution in psychology. We (humans
and our science) can no longer consider ourselves as the source and center of
all intelligence. Indeed our very sense of being (consciousness) arises from a
space or source that is both mental (intelligent) and nonmaterial.

“Think” about it deeply. Like considering the “outside” when
looking at the Milky Way at night, our human mental capacity is not up to the
task of understanding this intellectually.

This is potentially another Copernican
Revolution, but this time it is an evolution of Consciousness.

It must be felt – we are literally the product of an
intelligence we can barely comprehend; in comparison to the consciousness that
sourced Life, our materialist science is on the level of a Neanderthal.

Understand this – in reality, not metaphorically, DNA is
software – the “program” behind life – and it must be an expression of
Infinitely Intelligence.

As Eckhart Tolle says, this intelligence runs all of our
bodily functionswithout our conscious
participationin
perfect harmony (unless there is disease). It “manages” our circulation,
digestion, respiration, elimination et al. using a system of coded instructions
thatconvey meaning(they can be comprehended and edited).

This understanding must dramatically shift our focus in terms
of consciousness as not being a product of our biology (residing in the brain)
but rather being as energetic and intelligent presence for which our current
science cannot account.

This is because our science is a science of objects–and DNA
is an expression of something completely different — as Eckhart says, “no
thing” – it is a living subjectivity. It is not the product of a noun–it
is an always present verb.
